UK and Japanese 3" CD Singles

In 1988, twelve 3" CD singles were issued
which contained tracks from across Queen's back catalogue. They
were released individually in the UK, with the catalogue numbers
QUECD1 through to QUECD12, each in it's own 3" x 3"
card sleeve. The singles were also released in Germany as a set,
called 'The 3" CD Singles', housed in a leather
wallet, and limited to 555 numbered copies. Full scans of this
set, and the individual singles, can be found in the gallery.

The singles were also released as part of a boxed set in Japan in
1991 or 1992, simply called 'CD Single Box', with the
catalogue numbers TODP 2251 to TODP 2262, in 3" x 6"
plastic cases with card fronts. As far as I know, these were not
available individually. Full scans of this set, and the
individual singles, can also be found in the gallery.

The UK and Japanese issues featured similar artwork, and the same
tracks, but occasionally different versions were used. What
follows is a brief guide to the CD's, featuring the UK release
artwork, the catalogue numbers and the tracks.
